Can someone move this bullshit back to P&R already? That was the proper place for it. confused

[Edited 9/20/15 19:00pm]



They moved it because the actual news story has nothing to do with politics, religion, history, etc. It's a bully on the high school football team beating up a team mate. The OP attempted to politicize it and use it as bait and got called out.

Seriously, there's enough bs going on in p&r already...general news stories belong here as far as I know.


Fair enough.

Sooooo, the moral to this story is, we should arm teens?

this is nothing less than attempted murder. He needs life in prison. Thankfully they are charging him as an adult!

So keep this brutally in mind next time someone with a political agenda attempts to paint an unarmed teen as harmless.

So keep this brutally in mind next time someone with a political agenda attempts to paint an unarmed teen as harmless.

Sean Johnson, 17, was charged as adult in the attack and

is facing multiple charges, including first- and second-degree

attempted murder and assault. He is seen, in his booking photo

^^^^^^^

seems it's been overlooked as far as the mental stability of the teen who violently attacked one of his school mates. i mean many of today's youth are in a state of psyhological illness that is overlooked by the courts and the media. i wonder about this teen. i mean is he sick or what? what drove him to a state of madness?

dove

anyway, check out the following teen story.

Related image

this story is also brutal. although one teen was un armed and the other teen chose a weapon (sledgehammer) this is not an (alledged) attempt at murder, this teen committed murder. some would say "he needs life in prison and thankfully they are chargin him as an adult."

Teen laughed as he killed his mother with a sledgehammer and tried to burn his brother alive 'because his sibling raped him and she did nothing about it'

: http://www.dailymail.co.u...id-it.html

A Tennessee teenager on trial for murder says he killed his mother with a sledgehammer because she knew he had been raped by his older brother and did nothing about it.

Zachary Davis was fifteen when he bludgeoned his mother's skull 12 times as she slept and then set his family home ablaze in an effort to also kill his elder sibling Josh.

On Tuesday, a court in Hendersonville heard how Davis, now 17, laughed as he killed his mother Melanie Davis in August 2012, leaving her bloodied and unrecognizable before fleeing.

Davis is charged with first-degree murder, attempted first-degree murder and aggravated arson and the court was shown gruesome images of the crime scene as his trial began on Monday.

According to prosecutors, Davis, his mother and brother went to see the comedy movie, The Campaign on August 10 and then returned home.

Melanie Davis went to sleep at 9pm, 'not knowing that her younger son was planning something sinister, something unspeakable.'

In testimony given to the court by Major Don Linzy, Chief of Detectives at the Sumner County Sheriff's Office, Davis confessed after he was apprehended at a convenience store eight miles away, having fled the scene.

'Yes, sir, I killed my mom in her sleep with a sledgehammer,' Linzy told the court on Tuesday according to the Tennessean.

Linzy said that during his interview Davis was asked why he killed his mother with a sledgehammer and replied, 'I was worried that I'd miss,' and that using that type of weapon gave him the 'highest chance of killing her.'

eek


seems the teen in the first story (oisted by op) is not considered as being emotionally or mentally disturbed. i wonder if he is? for him to act out so violently, he's got to have some emotional issues. as with the teen zachary davis.

both acts of violence are equally wrong. nod

I am very aware of ED. And that supports my point. The story about the kid armed with a hammmer is bad but he was armed with a weapon. So it is really not topical.

I'd like to address a topic that this video clearly illustrates...

Our society, and our children, have little Empathy and have lost touch with Reality.

In school I saw fights. Not the type of fights where people try to kill each other, but rather, "normal" schoolyard fights.

There was usually alot of braggadoccio, then someone wound up getting their @ss beat.

WHAT I SAW in that video, was NOT a fight. That was either a student trying to kill a peer, or a student so out of touch with reality that he did not realize that what he was doing could end with lethal consequences.

Seriously. The after the first - maybe second - blow, the kid was out. Done. Fight over.

SO, WHY does the brute keep clobbering him? What purpose was served to keep going when the other kid is limp in his arms? MY OPINION on the matter? No empathy, and lack of realization of the reality of what is going on. Why? Too many video Games? Too many gruesome movies? Too many violent YouTube skits? Too many UFC/MMA pay-per-views? Too many steroids?
shrug I dunno. Need a sociologist/doctor to figure that out. BUT the end result is horrific.

That's probably what this thread SHOULD be about.

IMO it's not any one thing, rather a combination of factors that has produced a gradual decline over a period of time.

Teen Admits To Killing His 11-Year-Old Brother; Who's Really To Blame?

Posted: 07/16/2015 3:16 am EDT

: http://www.huffingtonpost...05708.html

In July 2013, Shawna Smith reported her 11-year-old son missing. Three days later, Terry “Juju” Smith Jr. was found dead near his California home. Shawna's other son, 16-year-old Skylor, later admitted to killing his half-brother and was convicted of voluntary manslaughter. But Juju's father, Terry Sr., believes Shawna may have helped to bury the body and cover up the crime, accusations she vehemently denies, claiming her ex is rehashing issues from their bitter divorce.

seems when certain people from certain communities go off. many want to discount them having some psychological illness problems.

the teen related to this thread really looks like he needs counseling. it's obvious that he was out of control.

Again this topic is about the misnomer that an unharmed teen can not pose a threat of serious harm. So your point of mental illness supports the op. A person is ill that has little if any bearing (moral or legal) on us of force needed to stop them. So thank you for supporting my point.

Unarmed anyone can still be a threat.

Cops also don't need a weapon to be a serious threat, in fact they are more likely to be abusive.


Statistics show that 1 in 4 women in the US is a victim of domestic violence, those numbers jump to 1 in 2 if they are married to a cop.


Read more at http://thefreethoughtproject.com/cops-beat-wives-girlfriends-double-national-rate-receive-promotions/

So keep this brutally in mind next time someone with a political agenda attempts to paint a cop (unarmed or armed) as harmless in their position of authority.


"Sociopaths are attracted to positions in which they are able to assert authority over others, so it should come as no surprise that there are higher concentrations of sociopaths within law enforcement."

But the real issue is not that a teen can be a threat or not - everyone knows they can be, it's that teens (particularly black teens) are automatically being labelled a threat by police.

bit of a different topic but good points. And the fact that some bad cops are quick to assume a threat doesn't change that a teen can be a serious threat without having an actual weapon.

Again, anyone can still be a serious threat without a weapon...and no one disputes this.

I'm just a little lost as to why you feel the need to make this grand proclamation. Are you speaking about a particular incident or claim made by a particular person?


Who is saying that teens can not be a threat without a weapon?

I mean, this comment:

can easily be changed to this and have the same truth:

So keep this innocence in mind next time someone with a political agenda attempts to paint an unarmed teen as dangerous.

many teens unarmed or no can pose a threat especially if the have (overlooked) mental or emotional issues.

i've never understood your point other that you seem to relish in posting an urban teen as though this teen is reipresentative of his community.

so what IS your point/agenda in posting this obviously (urban community) covertly targeted issue.
